5 players who could replace Paul Pogba at Juventus

Toni Kroos

The maestro could do very well at Juventus

Not particularly known for his knack of getting into the box and scoring goals but Toni Kroos is otherwise the perfect midfielder. His passing is exquisite, his movement of the ball is exquisite, his ability to sniff out chances and even break play is equally impressive.

Kroos is a joy to watch and alongside someone as technical as Luka Modric, is even more so. At Turin, he'll have compatriot Sami Khedira alongside Claudio Marchisio to what he does best which is to release his forwards.

Kroos is almost a no-brainer for Juventus. He's got all the right ingredients and he has the experience from playing at Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to fit into any club in the world – less so at a club as big at Juventus.

The German is a natural at both attacking and defending but where he lacks is in a natural athletic ability to run and hurt opponents at the right time. He's more of a passer and since the club have a plethora of attacking options, having someone pull the strings at the back isn't such a bad thing.
